Combined Wet and Dry Gas Seal Training Course
The impeller is the heart of the pump. It provides the motion to move the liquid from one point to another. The impeller is rotated by a power source such as a turbine, engine or electric motor. This rotation causes the fluid surrounding the impeller to be rotated by the radial vanes and it is thrown outwards by centrifugal force from the centre of rotation (eye) to the outer extremity (tips of vanes).
The pumping action is achieved by the rotating action of the impeller creating fluid momentum. The fluid motion through the pump causes a reduction in pressure at the inlet producing a suction effect.
